Ayelet Gundar-Goshen | “The Healing Power of Stories”
Ayelet Gundar-Goshen is an award-winning Israeli novelist and clinical psychologist.
In this talk she will illuminate the impact of trauma in literary work and the power of storytelling in therapeutic healing. Working with terror victims in Israel after October 7, she discovered that the same tools used by writers to create imaginary stories could be useful for people trying to survive a horrific, unimaginable reality.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Jewish Studies and the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University.
